      Cant sleep at night

      Pros

      Nice pay. Other then the pay there isnt much of pros. the work isnt bad but its also not good either. domain knowledge is all you need.

      Cons

      Well amazon cares about customers but not employees. For a fresher you can gain knowledge about technology for a little bit more experienced person its not a software development company its a retail company. the software development practices are horrible. The tools used internally are a pain. And also forget about having a life out of work. the people in india expect you to work in day and people in usa expect you to work at night. there are no flex hours and you are not expected to work from home or something like that will not be appreciated

      Working at Amazon is great!

      Pros

      * Hugely innovative company * You're never working on the same thing for very long * Movement between teams and around the company is encouraged * Strong culture of knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving, both within your team and throughout the company * Amazon's computing needs are among the most extreme in the world--there's never a shortage of challenging problems to solve

      Cons

      * The benefits package isn't all that great for a company of Amazon's size * The culture of frugality has a tendency to disappoint: employee perks are at a minimum here * Parental leave policies are bare minimum * Stock-based bonuses take a while (years) to kick in

      Pros

      Jeff Bezos has a great vision. These are the smartest, most motivated, and professional people that I have ever worked with. Amazon puts the customer first. There are a bunch of great projects to work on.

      Cons

      Work style is confrontational. Entire company is micromanaging everyone else.
